Making changes to multiple services

Post by gamechanger »

I want to make global changes to specific services, but I don't know of a good way to make a change in one shot vs clicking on each service. Is there a good solution for doing such operations? I guess I can always update mysql rows but I am not sure if thats a good approach.


Thanks

editing mysql rows in the nagiosql database is a possible solution however it is inherently risky, whatever yo do make sure you have a backup to roll back to.

Alternately, if you want you can take a look at the our new CCM beta found in the post
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 253#p24253

This has Bulk Modifications in the Tools menu

While it is beta, I would say still a lot safer that messing around directly in the database.
